We use these tools every day in our own businesses. Then we sit next to South African owners and set them up, properly, with their business in mind, in plain language.
Chris Grindlay
Founder · AI Practitioner
On 7 January 2023, Chris started working with AI for around six hours a day on average, studying it, using it, and deploying it inside his own businesses.
He has not stopped since.
That is roughly 6,000 hours of real working time. Not theory. Not a course. By the time most consultants were running their first ChatGPT prompts, Chris had already been living with it for over two years.
He came to it the long way round. After years of running businesses remotely from a catamaran in the Caribbean with his wife, AI quietly took over from sailing. The boat is on permanent pause now. Cape Town is home, and Tomorrow’s World is the result.
Chris is a business owner first and an AI practitioner second. He has rolled AI into every part of his own operations and trained his staff to do the same. The systems Tomorrow’s World installs for clients are the same systems running his own businesses, refined daily.
His approach is practical and direct. No theory. No conference workshops. He sits with the business owner, finds the work that is eating their week, and builds the AI workflow that takes it off their plate. The client owns everything we build, forever.
The belief underneath all of it is simple: the people who learn to work alongside AI now are the ones who will stay relevant. The ones who do not, will not.
That is not a prediction. It is already happening.
Tomorrow’s World exists to make sure you are on the right side of it.

Liesel did not believe in AI straight away.
When Chris first started speaking about AI in early 2023, she listened politely and carried on running the business. After more than twenty years in operations, she had seen enough “next big things” come and go. Stock, suppliers, customers, accounts, staff and daily pressure did not leave much room for what looked, at first, like another tech fad.
Chris kept bashing away. Every meeting, every conversation came back to it.
The shift did not happen overnight. It happened through small wins that became hard to ignore. A supplier query that used to take two hours became a ten-minute task. A monthly report was drafted before lunch. A difficult customer message became clear, professional and easier to handle.
Over time, AI stopped feeling like something separate from the business and started becoming part of how the business worked.
Today, Liesel uses AI as a practical working partner in daily operations, not because it sounds impressive, but because going back to the old way would not make sense.
At Tomorrow’s World, Liesel helps make sure the AI workflows built for clients can actually survive inside a real business. She understands the pressure of busy teams, demanding customers, supplier delays, admin overload and the kind of Mondays where everything happens at once.
Her role is to keep AI practical, usable and grounded in the reality of how businesses actually run.
If Chris was the one who saw AI coming, Liesel is the one who proved it could be lived with.
Natasha came to AI later than the others, and that is the point.
She has worked alongside Chris and Liesel since 2018, across different parts of the business, including marketing, customer communication, admin, product content and daily operations. When AI started becoming part of the conversation in 2023, she was where many working professionals are now: she had heard of ChatGPT, tried it once or twice, but did not yet understand how much it could change the way she worked.
Chris started showing her what was possible.
At first, it felt impressive but distant. Watching a long email being dictated in seconds with Wispr Flow and Claude felt almost impossible. Then she started building her own AI projects, using her own templates, for the work she actually had to do every day.
That was when it clicked.
That journey from “I do not really see it” to “I cannot imagine working without it” is the journey many Tomorrow’s World clients go through.
Natasha works closely with clients because she understands the first-session feeling: the polite nodding, the quiet doubt, the fear of falling behind, and then the moment it finally lands. She knows how to make AI feel less intimidating, more practical and more connected to the work people already do.
You do not have to be technical, an early adopter, or a coder to end up two years ahead of where you were yesterday.
You just have to start.
